Christmas present: Visions exhibition opened   22. December 1999
It's a series of picture covering the topic of visions you have in dreams, which are always quite unclear and fuzzy. So are the pictures - very detailed, but still strange. Go to the Visions exhibition.


URB Magazine   16. December 1999
Quoted from mp3.com: "The editors of URB Magazine, America's number one source for electronic music, recently went diggin' through MP3.com's proverbial crates in search of standouts. Strangely, their results did not reflect the charts as Trance Control and Ghost in the Machine were not chosen among the top 10:
1. Simon V. "Pulse Code"
2. DJ Spooky feat. Freight Elevator
..."

Site History   18. June 1999
One time, my dear friend Matthias Betz asked me why I didn't keep all old versions of my homepage, I had no answer. So I started to look for everything that was left and put it all on one page - the "site history", a new section of my Gallery (which is looking nicer than ever now).


Press and Radio coverage   07. May 1999
DJ Lightwood just got an email from Australia yesterday, and please read what Breakspeare from Perth had to say:
"Wondering if I could get a release date on 'Screwdriver'. After playing 'Pulse Code' out for the last three months I'm dying to hear something new from Simon V. 'Pulse Code' is THE MOST underrated track in '99. ..."

Me, as the ultimate authority in .mp3 issues, got featured in the German Newspaper Reutlinger Generalanzeiger.

I also got told by Doormat that:
"... BBC Radio 1: Mary Ann Hobbes (as I think it was) had the One night album as her album of the week and played a few tracks from it...(which I missed)...I only caught the last one she played that night....Pulse Code...anyway, though you might be interested to know that the UK is taking notice!"


Death of Kemistry   27. April 1999

Mekka & Symposium 99   07. April 1999

Kemi & Storm at the Depot   07. March 1999
Kemistry & Storm blew my head off at the Depot on Saturday ... the venue was completely packed and overcrowded and they were playing only the ruffest and dirtiest tunes ... as for my new productions, some of the tracks are working good on the dancefloor, but I also have some more home-listening oriented tracks coming up, so look out for some little audio bits soon.

The music itself is very experimental and rough, just right to clean your soul.
My CD project is arriving at it's final stage. The music and artwork is done and will go into production phase soon. I hope that it will be available at the end of December or early January. The CD will be titled one night, released under the name Simon V.


New homepage location   21. September 1998
I have a new homepage location. The Internet Agency 21torr thought that my pages and those of my friends are causing too much traffic, and they were not willing to host them anymore for free. So I had to move...
... back at the Kosmic Free Music Foundation... New address: http://vivid.kosmic.org
The Santorin pages have also been detached from my homepage, the new location is www.santorin.de, before we move to our own domain. I'm sorry for all inconveniences.


Liveact in Heidelberg   29. August 1998
I did a liveact last Saturday at the Karlstorbahnhof in Heidelberg, together with Prymer from Black Beat Productions along with a Drummer, Bass Player, DJ and MC! This was a very shortly arranged event so I had no time to announce it properly, hope everyone who was there enjoyed it. Pictures will be available on my pages as soon as they're ready.


Black Beat guest release   27. July 1998
I had been working on a couple of new tracks, including a guest release on Black Beat Productions as well as a new EP for Santorin Records. I also decided somewhen last week that I'll be working on an Audio-CD project including all the Hits I had over the last years, plus a selection of Tracks I released on Vinyl. All the old tracks will be reworked over the next months and you can expect high quality versions.
